PASSENGER trains will run in Wensleydale on Boxing Day for the first time since the re-opening of the railway last year.
Ruth Annison, marketing director for Wensleydale Railway, said trains would run throughout the Christmas holidays, except Christmas Day and New Year's Day.
Travellers with pre-booked Day Rover tickets receive a mince pie and mulled wine.
"We now run trains seven days a week throughout the year," said Mrs Annison. "All usual times and fares apply on Boxing Day on 'a turn up and go' basis but the special Day Rover tickets, which include refreshments, must be booked by 3.30 on Christmas Eve."
Timetables and route details are on the web site at www.wensleydalerailway.com.
Boxing Day bookings should be made by calling the information line 08454 50 5474. There is no need to book for other journeys.
The line serves Leeming Bar, Bedale, Leyburn and, from yesterday, the village of Finghall.
The end of the line is Redmire station.
